Might as well get the warrants for fail to appear, I am willing to bet over 75% won't show for court! I have always been amazed how they release those who have an outstanding warrant for FTA and they release them on their own recognizance and actually think they are going to show up a second time?

Call it what it is and stop with the political correctness. Crack hoes and not human trafficking.

Scum. Run them off the shore.

Prostitution? In Ocean City? Isn't that sorta like selling sand on the beach?
I have a tip for anybody desperate enough to use these skanky, skeevy, women:
Go to a crowded bar, wait until Last Call; offer a semi-beautiful young lady a cocktail and a ride home.
You'll save a lot of money. (Probably save at the health clinic, too.)

Released on human trafficking charges. You've got to be kidding me! Throw them in jail. The suffering that human traffic causes is beyond imagination. It's usually more like kid napping and slavery.

Even the prostitutes are less than desirable on the eastern shore. Take anything that exists, come up with a lessor equivalent and you have the eastern shore version.

I refer to it as catch & release. Makes no sense at all.

More of the current graduating class of Ms. Peacock's finishing school for the genteel? Don't think much of the (and I use this term loosely) young ladies who sacrifice reputation, life and limb, and health for a roll in the hay with every bozo who smiles at them.

City Hall, trying to get rid of the trash BEFORE Memorial Day weekend?

How bout moving the homeless AWAY from the boardwalk restrooms. That's scarier than the arrested "beauties!"

OCPD: Try saving lives before wasting your time with these uglies who are only carrying 600 bucks.
